“He That Is Righteous Is Favored of God”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

It is fashionable these days to speak of God’s unconditional love. Do the scriptures teach that God has unconditional love for everyone, or does God favor some over others? The Book of Mormon clearly answers those questions. “He that is righteous is favored of God… . And he loveth those who will have him to be their God.” See also Psalm 145:18–20; John 14:21; 15:10; Acts 10:34–35; Romans 10:12–13; Helaman 3:27–28; 15:3–4.
